President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

100% of the time it means the cost of the product/raw materials as purchased from the supplier...

That's my understanding, thus the source of my confusion.

Last time you saw a cabinet meeting start with prayer?

Last time you saw a cabinet meeting lead by The Presdent?

no separation of church and state? there is a reason you haven't seen a prayer in one.

That's my understanding, thus the source of my confusion.

I'm of the opinion that if you are above the age of 20 and can't piece together why the cost of raw materials is only a fraction of the total cost of a product you probably need to be institutionalized, or at least have your right to vote stripped away.

i'd like to know how much above wholesale I am paying.....am I being ripped off?

Assume a retailer buys a product for 10 dollars, at what price do you feel you are being ripped off?

U.S. and Ukraine Reach Minerals Deal, but Details Remain Unresolved

“This deal is part of our broader arrangements with the United States,” Zelensky said. “This deal can be part of future security guarantees.”

The Ukrainian president said he had been invited to the U.S. to meet with President Trump this week, but he wasn’t sure if he would go and that details of the visit were still being worked out.

“This visit before [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is a very good signal,” he said.

Look at Wal Marts, Home Depots, Lowes, Kroger's 10K to see their average gross and operating profit per $1 of sales.....

I think they start every meeting in Iraq with a prayer.

Do you need to know the business rent, employee wages, insurance, utility bills, interest on loans, etc too?

If anyone, you would know.

no, just the markup.

 

[luthervol]

If anyone, you would know.

Do you think it is a good thing that they start meetings in Iraq with a prayer?

 

[LSU-SIU]

Can you define your usage of "wholesale prices"?

I really wasn't the one promoting that fyi, if you can see I responded to hog that had "wholesale" in his post but I don't know of any existing law requiring that.

 

[jmacvols1]

Assume a retailer buys a product for 10 dollars, at what price do you feel you are being ripped off?

what's the product?

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

no separation of church and state? there is a reason you haven't seen a prayer in one.

Only if it is required. You made my point, the president made the decision to start the meeting in prayer .

 

[jmacvols1]

Another "big government" conservative...

Yikes, I didnt expect this from you...

I don't see anything conservative or liberal about wanting to know a store markups

Last time I watched a cabinet meeting was never.

Do you believe in prayer?

LOL

Well, that's adding a new cost to the process, which we don't want. It's already a decent amount of work to make sure everything in a store is marked with the correct price, let alone the cost to the retailer. And nobody gets any additional benefit by adding this cost, so why?

If it's worth it to you, buy it. If it's not, don't. Retailers and their competitors will adjust based on your behavior.

me asking a retail what his/her markup is would be adding to the cost?

 

[luthervol]

Do you believe in prayer?

I don't even understand the question.

But I think public prayer should be avoided under most all circumstances.

Luther prays for the Orange man every day.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

The laws, regulation, and enforcement needed to make sure retailers do this would make Elizabeth Warren cream her panties. Not to mention the tens of billions of dollars of additional costs that will ultimately get passed on...

 

[hog88]

what's the product?

Why does that matter? What's the markup amount that you walk away from?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I don't even understand the question.

What about public prayer requests for rain?
